Super SandCastle: Let's See A to Z series.
This alphabet book pairs letters with weather concepts. A short, easy-to-read (though sometimes vague) description accompanies each concept, ranging from basic (e.g., ice) to complex (xeric climate). Related stock photographs help clarify the text. "Guess what?" trivia runs along the bottom of some pages, and a list of additional weather terms is appended. Glos.
